Sometimes, too many ideas is worse than not enough.
There are a thousand ideas in my head. And I don't know which to focus on.
Anyone else?
Is this or that worth my time as an independant designer? Should I start a new line of more productive items, more "mass-produced" yet still handmade?
I'm in a quandary. That's why I haven't been writing. The ideas won't cohere to any logical pattern. They just bounce around in my head and off of each other without rhyme, reason, or cogency. So I thought I'd take a step back.
But the ideas still do their thing.
Write a novel!
Screenprinting! That could be for you!
Custom knitting!
oooooooooh. You should make purses!
Should I plant enough veggies for a market garden?
Oooooh. I need a sod remover for the garden.
crap. Did I take pictures of that fabric for that order yet?
I really should be knitting more bulky cowls for the shop.
I wonder if I should invest in a sock knitting crank machine?
Should I be writing a novel?

*points up* It's ALWAYS like that. Even when I'm working on one project, fifty others are migrating around in the idea box. I try and be mindful of this (*ohmmmmmmmmmmmm*), and truly enjoy what I'm working on at the moment! Never truly happens.
I DID go on vacation. San Francisco and I got along just fine! (the food was FABULOUS.)
I DID start a new knitting project while riding around the Oakland/San Francisco area public transportation, and on the planes to and from Michigan:
The pattern for the shawl was memorized after the 3rd row, and it's just waiting for me to sit still for longer than 3 minutes to finish the border. More pics of the finished shawl later! (if I can stay focused long enough to remember to do so.)
So there I am, in a nutshell. My thoughts and ideas are driving me batty. I don't know how to grab one. Stick to it. Stay there.
Any ideas?
